I have this curse on my head where bad sitcom moments or SNL seem to happen to me in real life. Case in point, I was working at the grocery store years ago and this little old lady comes up to me and asks where the Mexican food is. I show her the aisle, and instead of thanking me, she says,
"I'm glad you were able to find it. I asked your Mexican workers, you'd think they'd be able to, but they didn't!"
Yes, dear readers, this narrow-minded little hag not only generalized all our Spanish speaking employees as "Mexican" (grrr, don't you hate that???), but assumed that, of course they'd know where the Mexican food is kept!!
If you're not weeping for humanity, you're a better person than I.
